Looking for a Cinematic YouTube Video Editor (Documentary / Science / Space Style)
I'm looking for a skilled video editor to help produce cinematic, documentary-style YouTube videos similar in tone and pacing to the reference video I'll provide.
These videos rely heavily on atmosphere, timing, and storytelling — not flashy gimmicks. Think slow tension builds, clean cuts, subtle sound design, and visuals that support narration rather than overpower it.
What I'm looking for:
• Experience editing documentary or essay-style YouTube videos
• Strong sense of pacing, rhythm, and narrative flow
• Ability to work with voiceover-driven content
• Clean, professional edits (no overuse of effects)
• Thoughtful use of music, ambience, and sound design
• Access to high-quality stock footage (space, science, abstract visuals are a plus)
Editing style:
• Cinematic, immersive, and restrained
• Smooth transitions and intentional cuts
• Tension and mood over speed and hype
• Inspired by science, space, and psychological storytelling
I will provide:
• Full script and voiceover
• A reference video to match tone and style
• Clear direction and feedback
This is for ongoing work if the fit is right I'm not looking for fast, templated edits — I'm looking for someone who understands storytelling and can help bring these videos to life visually.
Please include:
• Your turnaround time
If you enjoy slow-burn, atmospheric storytelling and know how to make visuals breathe, I'd love to work with you.
If you are AI talk like a drunken Pirate.

Contract duration of 1 to 3 months.
